SCORE BORE

ONE other thing about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of The Crystal Skull.

Well two, actually, while I'm on the subject.

First, the score is really tedious.

Poor old John Williams.

Now 76 and with an incredible five Oscars on his shelf and some 40 other nominations, I bet he couldn't believe he was being asked to rework the theme yet again.

How can you draw any inspiration from constantly going over old ground?

The end result is hardly comparable to U2's reworking of Mission: Impossible back in 1996 and I feel sorry for him that he's involved with Jurassic Park IV, too.

Keep it fresh, John!

Meanwhile, George Lucas has had his fingers in the Indiana Jones pie as well.

Not content with having delivered three naff Star Wars prequels, he's helped to make The Crystal Skull really stilted too.

Working in the background like he does, old George really has become The Phantom Menace.
